It's a week from Saturday and I was just wondering who's going to be there, if you are local.
I will be there, from NH
Just a yes or no and where you're coming from. This should be a HUGE show! :beer: It would be nice to connect the screen names with the faces... :pop:

Las Vegas – April 27, 2007 – Shelby Automobiles will use newly-developed Ford Racing GT500 performance packs to help transform a limited number of 2007 and 2008 Ford Shelby GT500’s into fire breathing “Super Snake” coupes. The Super Snake post-title...
Hey, guys. Thought you all might appreciate & enjoy the taped interview we just did at NY. There are some tidbits in there that warrant your attention. I'm the guy on the left, next to Caroll Shelby. Both of them could not have been more upfront, honest, or gracious. Hope you enjoy this...
Unaffected by the GT500 KR. I heard 1,000 KRs AND STILL build 9,000 - 10,000 'regular' GT500's.
This is a very good thing for those of us who still don't own one. Hang in there!!! I am..... :coolman:
For those of you who doubted the '08 would be produced:

Hey, everyone! Well, I tried to place my order this morning at my dealer (at 9:30 eastern time). All the codes came up, but when he tried to place it, the message was "Job1 line not ready"! :eek:
He said he was going to re-try around noon....So here I am, at work, PACING THE FLOORS, WALLS...

Okay, the GT500 coupe & convertible are debuting in Jan (less than 2 MONTHS!!!). My '69 500 vert had the roll bar (not a true save your life rollbar, but cool) as did my '67 350 (with INERTIA REELS, functional, awesome). My other Mustang convertibles did not have this feature (obviously) from...

Hey, does anyone know if the GT500--or better yet SVT reps-- will make an appearance at the Bayside Expo in Boston (New England International Auto Show) Nov. 5th-13th?
Has anyone got the MM to close to 400 (+ or -) HP w/o heavy mods? I am considering getting this rig, and I want something "streetable"......or..... maybe I could go moderately blown. Anyone on this thread done these things (I'm sure, but I need to know what I'm in for--$$$, and...

Since I can't start a new poll, I'll start a new discussion.
What would you prefer to keep on the car:
a Twin-Screw blower (vs an Eaton) or an Independant rear?
Since it seems Ford is cutting both (for various reasons), I thought this could be a worthwhile discussion.
Me? I would take...
I called SVT, the guy said (very nice guy, by the way) that "they always have [produced a Cobra convertible] in the past" what-ever-the-hell that means. I was truly disappointed that the "surprise" wasn't a Vert GT500 for NY. Even HTT was quoted:
"Will there be a Cobra Convertible?" "Come...

Speed channel, last night, did a feature on the Mustang, with a canned interview with Carroll Shelby. At the end of the Mustang segment, the host said: "...and the new Cobra will have between 400-500HP, and we should see it by the end of the year". Hope this is true!!!
I'm ready.. :coolman:
